Central Hawke's Bay: Fryer Cup goes ahead without House choirs

David Howard, winner of the Senior Guitar Solo.

The 64th Annual Fryer Cup music competition looked a little different this year as the Covid-19 impact was felt. The House choirs were not included in this year's competition, however more than 90 individual students were involved in solo performances, duets, group performances and compositions.

Guest judges Peter Charlton-Jones and Kent Thompson said they were in awe of the performances. Peter, having been involved with the school previously, said, "It's great to see the music tradition continuing at Central Hawke's Bay College."

Kent said he was impressed by the amazing talent on display and loved the way that all students encouraged one another.
